In a lot of ways, McClain both is and isn’t your typical NFLer – if there even is such a thing. He isn’t because he’s certainly not what most NFL fans would think of when they think “professional football player.” He’s not J.J. Watt’s meathead schtick, that WWE-like persona with all its grand proclamations of badassery. He’s not Panthers teammate Cam Newton’s brash bravado, Newton’s million-watt grin. He’s not even Steve Smith Sr.’s teflon-like toughness, his villainy personified.
For those very same reasons though, McClain really is the epitome of the kind of player that comprises the majority of NFL rosters.
